    Default "Nesteldecken" or "twiddle blankets"
    Patients suffering from dementia are always very restless and they are looking for something to twiddle with or as we say: they want to "nestel"! And that's the reason for sewing these blankets: there are many things sewed on where these patients can "twiddle" or pluck with: ribbons, lace, buttons, zippers and many other things!!
    Here are some blankets I sewed

    And we also sew "Nestelschals" or twiddle scarfs:

    What a wonderful idea. I'm sure not only the ones suffering but also the care givers will appreciate these. Bless You

    Oh my gosh, are those wonderful. I volunteer at a nursing home and can see these being such a blessing.
